For short term, one wire to yellow wire, one to black wire on the molex. Make sure the tec wont burn out the psu.

well is a 30amp tec so i think itll brun it out instantly. is there any way to regulate the current into the tec. i dont care if i ever use the psu again its a bit on the screwed side. but i can atleast use it for testing

Run it on the 5v (red wire). It will suck much less amps.
